Our builders roofer did not put any through wall flashing where our roof intersects a brick veneer wall. All they did was put counter flashing up and load it up with caulk. Builder is now having to have the first few rows of brick torn out to add this flashing.

Instead of using the apron flashing, I wonder if it wouldn't be a suitable alternative to use some self stick ice and water shield, but cut it down to size and only remove the adhesive's backing plastic from the section that will contact/cover the roofing shingles. Leave the plastic backing over the adhesive that will be in contact with the flashing or wall above. Then you could just affix it to the wall with the siding's fasteners or use cap nails before adding the siding. Seems to me it would be useful option for a DIY job where you have sufficient amount of leftover ice and water shield.

Wish you had discussed the outside and inside corners

My new roof has a nail every inch on the exposed side of the flashing. Seems excessive to me. The contractor said his guys went above and beyond a good job. Thoughts?

Good flashing install..but hardie plank siding is installed too low.hardie plank siding install requires a 2 inch space between siding and roof flashing

Can you show how this is done on a stucco wall?

Roofer just did our porch roof and did NO flashing in an identical looking situation. We called him because the roof, over our porch, leaked onto the porch. He put new shingles on with his crew, four men who didn't speak English so we could ask no questions, and caulked, very sloppily, the line where the shingles meet the old asbestos siding.
The roofer had given us an estimate with flashing included on the price. Decades ago, when the porch was put on, my grandparents had copper flashing installed under the asbestos siding.

When we saw no new flashing and made the roofer come back, he claimed the very old copper flashing under the asphalt shingles was installed by him - even tearing two pieces, and cracking our asbestos sideing, to cite his false claim. Then he claimed we didn't need new flashing. Then, when we insisted he put the flashing on, as indicated in the estimate, he had his crew up there for about an hour hammering. He only put yet more shingles on, with no visible flashing added. He caulked it and put parts of the asbestos siding, which he'd broken off, on upside down.

There are now gaps in the caulking, NO flashing - he tried to claim he put this black aluminum flashing UNDER the existing asbestos siding and new tiles. An obvious lie. To say I'm very upset is an understatement. He did nothing to remediate the old leak, which was where the roof met the old house, except to very sloppily caulk. When that wears off, or dries out, it will obviously leak again.

Nice, but what make and sku# is that cap apron flashing?
